The mosque complex provides the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community with a central focal point for meetings, social and religious events on a national scale that was no longer possible in the much smaller London mosque. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community acquired the site in 1996 which was previously “Express Dairies”, and the late Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, the fourth Khalifa laid the foundation stone on 19th October 1999.
The first mosque built by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in England was the Fazal Mosque situated in Southfields, South West London. The Fazal mosque which is commonly known as the London Mosque was built by the funds provided by the ladies section of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1924.
